I need some advice. I took the boards yesterday I am feeling very depressed . The computer close on 75 questions but I am felling that I have failed. What should I do?

Absolutely nothing until you get the results.

what are the chances I have passed with 75 ? Does anybody know? I had so many medications questions one after the other

The chances are good that you did pass, but you will not know that until you get the results. We've had so many people come on here all freaked out because they got booted out after 75, so that must mean they failed, right? And then there are the ones who are positive they failed because they had to answer all 250 questions. Either way, you won't know until you get the results.

Ahhhh, for the good ol' days........

Trying to guess whether you passed or failed is useless -- because there is no way know. Some people pass with 75 questions: other people do not. All you can really do is wait.

Sometimes, life is hard and we all have to go through anxious or tough times in our lives. Waiting for test results is simply a challenge that has to be endured. It's like patients waiting for the results of a medical test to see if they have a dreaded disease ... or family members waiting for the completion of a loved-one's surgery. Sometimes, all you can do is wait.

What helps me with "anxious waiting" is to make plans as to how I will handle the results. Forming a plan to handle the bad news -- whatever it is -- helps me to reestablish a sense of control and confidence in my life. Essentially, I say to myself, "Even if it's bad news, I know I can handle it because I have a plan to deal with it."

Once I know what my plan is for dealing with the dreaded problem, then I don't have to worry about it so much. I have turned a big scary problem into a manageable one. Also, figuring out the answer to the question, "What will I do if....?" keeps my mind occupied and helps the time to pass.

I remember those days well! It was the longest three days of my life. Try to relax and don't give your mailman the heebie-jeebies!! There is really no way to know if you passed or failed with any amount of questions. Good luck!!

I have refused first to find a plan B. If I do not pass I do not know what to do to prepare I have done the kaplan and scored really well on the tests and practice more than 3500 questions and yesterday when I went to that test it seems that I did not know anything . I do not know how they decide if you passed or not I wanted to know.

My chiro's wife, who is a nurse, warned me before I took the exam that no matter how hard I studied, I would feel like I had not studied for the questions I saw. I thought, "Yeah, right." When I sat the exam I remember thinking "Where did these questions come from??"

that's what I thought . This is horrible I can not believe that I have studied so hard and still not prepared . Come on!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I have no idea what to do if i failed . I have a job waiting for me and I do not pass I can work there anymore i do not think they want to hold the possition for so long and On the top of that I can not even work as a GN I am getting crazyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
